PHI's New Publication: Benefit Cliffs and Benefit Plateaus for Home Care Aides

PHI has released our latest publication in our #60CaregiverIssues campaign
-Benefit Cliffs and Benefit Plateaus: Do Higher Wages Result in Higher
Incomes for New York City's Home Care Aides? PHI’s analysis looks at how
increasing the minimum wage impacts a home care aide’s eligibility for
public benefits, and consequently their overall income. It highlights an
important issue – increasing wages is only part of the solution to
ensuring home care aides and other low-income workers can make ends meet.
Our analysis specifically looks at New York City, but benefit cliffs and
benefit plateaus are faced by low-income workers across the nation.
